Abstract

Two questions are prominent in modern minimalist discussions: how abstract are the principles which govern grammar, and how far do syntax and the lexicon penetrate one another? We argue that very sharp data reveal the presence of a passive operation for ability nominalizations which (a) entails covert phrasal movement, (b) a 'long-distance’ connection to an Edge, (c) LF sensitivity, and (d) the Chain Condition (following Chomsky (2001), Pesetsky (2000), as well as Frampton & Gutman (2000), Fu et al.
